It's 17.________(universal)believed that monks visiting China brought tofu to neighbouring countries like Japan.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。填字游戏和锻炼只是改善记忆最好的几个习惯。文章介绍了提高记忆的其他方法。
16.解析:truly 考查副词。设空处修饰动词give,应用所给词true的副词形式。故填truly。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇新闻报道。敦煌是联合国教科文组织世界遗产莫高窟的所在地,北京国家对外文化贸易基地正举办一场关于莫高窟元素的展览。
16.解析:a 考查冠词。分析句子结构并结合句意可知,UNESCO World Heritage Site和the Mogao Grottoes构成同位语,空处填入不定冠词表泛指,即“一处联合国教科文组织世界遗产地”,且UNESCO的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。
17.解析:on 考查介词。on display“展出”,是固定搭配。
18.解析:that/which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词为caves,且所填词在从句中作主语,故填that/which。
19.解析:covering 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处需用非谓语动词作定语,cover与主语The exhibition area为逻辑上的主谓关系,故填covering。
20.解析:relics 考查名词复数。根据“50 sets of”可知,此处应用名词复数形式。故填relics。
21.解析:restored 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处是非谓语动词作定语修饰grotto,restore与grotto是逻辑上的动宾关系,故填restored。
22.解析:has held 考查动词的时态。在“It is the first/second/third/ ...time+从句”结构中,从句中的谓语动词用现在完成时;又因the Dunhuang Academy为第三人称单数,故填has held。
23.解析:collection 考查名词。空处作had completed的宾语,应用其名词形式,且此处特指268个石窟的数字采集。故填collection。
24.解析:widely 考查副词。空处修饰形容词available,应用副词widely。
25.解析:but 考查连词。not only ...but also ...“不但……而且……”,是固定用法。
